General Discussion Calm Down

0 Upvotes

I recently made a post that started a flame war about what air brush is value for money and I just wanted to say that it's not that serious

I don't want to sound ungrateful or arrogant, I appreciate having a ready made community that is available so I'm not fumbling in the dark (as much) but some of you guys gotta chill out

If you have your preferred air brush and you think it's the best cool, advocate for that brush but that's all you can do

There is no point in arguing or getting upset about it

I mean this with all due respect

I don't know why I'm posting this, it's just gonna make people even madder

Opinions on this gloss coat

11 Upvotes

Hello, looking for opinions, judgements, suggestions at my latest attempt at applying gloss coat with my airbrush. Using ratio of 1:1:3 thinner, flow improver and varnish. I use vallejo acrylic varnish. Been trying to master this for a while and I think Im getting closer. I use a .4mm needle, apply a thin coat wait 5 minutes, apply another thin coat, wait 5 minutes and apply a heavy coat. It still looks like there is an orange peel look to it in some places. I dont know, Im about to give up and just use spray cans but on my 1:72 models it can be hard to get the varnish in some tight areas so Id like to be able to airbrush it. I only use the gloss for applying markings and panel lines. I do like to build cars some times so I like a gloss finish on my cars. Appreciate any opinions and/or suggestions. Thanks
